It was a morning like any other. Akihito and Asami have been living together for more than a year now, and in that time it seems they have managed to find their own balance. The young man doesn't interfere with the man's work, legal or not, and the other doesn't meddle in his.

I open my eyes because of too much light coming through the window. I would like to stay asleep but I have an appointment with my boss. I reach out and feel Asami's side is cold, as it always is after all. That workaholic always wakes up early.

I reluctantly get up and head to the kitchen for a quick breakfast. As I eat my favorite cereal, I think about how much things have changed for me in a way. Since meeting the yakuza, my life is more chaotic and stranger than ever. I smile because I never imagined that I would be living side by side with a man like Asami.

We didn't start our relationship in a normal and easy way, and even now it's not easy but it's manageable. We are both stubborn and on many points of view we are completely different, but it seems that this contrast of ours is made good for being together.

Of course, there are things that still make me angry and annoy me, such as the two bodyguards he's been placing on me for the past month or so, Eichi Miura and Isao Yoshiba, as if I were the president. Asami is the one who needs protection not me, but let alone that possessive bastard taking them away from me.

Not to mention that the only times I've tried to strike up a conversation with the two bodyguards I've received dry, cold responses in return. In addition both of them are quick and I can never get them off of me. I sigh, thinking I'll have to get used to it. I put down the cup I had breakfast with and look at the time and see that I still have some time so I head to the bathroom to take a leisurely shower.

He was observing, through the large windows that surrounded his office, the view and a small hint of a smile appeared on his face. I wonder if Akihito has woken up yet. Last night he was insatiable and didn't want to leave his fact was that he couldn't get enough of the exuberant boy who was currently in their penthouse. Feeling that with her mind wandering, imagining the young blonde's body writhing under his masterful touches, she curbed the thought.

He turned and went to sit in the black leather chair, thus beginning to work in earnest, wearing his business mask. - "Kirishima"- Asami said without raising her face from the documents she was checking. - "Yes, Asami-sama?"- replied the trusty right-hand man, adjusting his glasses. - "I want you to check on the head of this business."- he spoke coldly and directly. - "Yes, Sir."- and with these words the secretary, after bowing slightly, went to his desk and started to do the research. Asami continued to look at the file and smiled devilishly at the idea that someone had tried to cheat him. If they thought I wouldn't notice anything they were wrong. With these thoughts he put the file aside and picked up another one.

Akihito was seeing what to wear. He didn't want to wear his favorite jeans with a plaid shirt because the meeting with his boss was going to take place in the afternoon and for now he just wanted to go out and be as comfortable as possible.

Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've been jogging, or more accurately: I don't run like I used to. Since I've been with Asami and have basically two bodyguards on me at all times, I haven't gone out and run like I would have liked. Not to mention, that possessive bastard wouldn't let him go out on foot or in his vespa but only in imported cars.

Ugh, that spoiled rich bastard. With this thought, Akihito put on a tracksuit consisting of a pair of gray pants and a simple and loose white T-shirt and to complete the look, simple but comfortable sneakers.

He went to the door and only at that moment remembered Eichi and Isao. The two guards looked at him and in unison exclaimed: - "Hello Takaba-sama."- adding a slight bow. Akihito hated the fact that both men called him that. He tried many times to ask to be called only Akihito, but as expected of all the subordinates of the great yakuza, they only obeyed the great man. God what a nuisance, sooner or later I'll have to convince Asami to let me be called by my name, at least by his personal guards. - "Hello!"- he replied a little annoyed. Looking carefully, he reflected that Duo could not accompany him to run dressed in a suit and tie. He laughed thinking that he had never seen them differently and it didn't matter if it was a baking sun outside, none of them abandoned the black and white suit. The two guards, seeing that the young leader was watching them and laughing, asked: - "What is it Takaba-sama? Are you all right?" Akihito stopped laughing: - "Yes, everything's fine, but I wanted to know if you could change your clothes. The two guards looked shocked: - "Why? Is something bothering you about our clothes?" Akihito felt a little guilty seeing how worried the guards were getting. Quickly he said: - "No no, it's just that I would like to go jogging and I guess you guys would have come with me."- he saw the two leaders leaning a bit and confirmed what he was saying and added - "But I wouldn't want you to get dirty and sweaty dressed like that. So I was wondering if you could wear something more comfortable" - he smiled at the two guards.

They seemed surprised by the request but then asked the young man to wait in the attic for 5 minutes. Time to go and change. Good thing that both guards live in the same building where Asami and Akihito live. As soon as they were ready, they knocked on the door of Akihito's apartment and together all three went downstairs.

As soon as they were out of the building, Akihito stretched out with his arms facing each other and turned around, smiling at the two guards. - "Are you ready?"- he asked in an energetic voice. The two guards nodded their heads yes and Akihito began to run. Both guards hoped that Akihito would not try to run away or various things. In their minds, running with the young man would be a good thing so they could practice keeping up with the boy's pace, though so far they had succeeded well in theirs, never letting him out of their sight.
